VALUE OF ACTIVITY.
The Effects OF IdleneSs Upon tho Con-
ditiOn of Young Women.

The Effects Of Idleness Upon tho Con-
ditiOn of Young Women.
Wholesome regular occupation of
some sort is necessity. You can not
afford to be idle. Physically you can
not afford it. Not while you are a
creature of flesh and blood can you
escape the law that activity means
growth and health. and that idlcncss
means deterioration.
In the mere matter of beauty idlcness
Is loss as truly as excessive drudgcry.
The erect, dignified carriage. the firm,
elastic step, the well-roundcd arm, are
not to be won by days passed on the
sofa or hammock with novel in the
hand; nor are the maiden bloom. the
clear, fresh complexion. the modest.
thoughtful. yet animated glance, to be
kept amid late hours in heated rooms
and exciting pleasures.
Idleness invariably gives rise to
craving for excitement which may
drive away the eanui which is its pen
atty. But excitement persistently fol-
lowed is the source of all manner of
nervous disorders, resulting at last
in the production of the languid. ner-
vOus. historical creature, into which
the gay young woman SD often degen
crates.
This craving for excitement is prev
alent characteristic of the young woman
of to-day. especially in our cities. So
marked is it that, as Il thoughtful
woman whose life has been devoted to
the training of young women observed
to me, even church work has little
charm for many of those who engage
in it. unless done in kind of theatrical
way.
The effect of idleness. too. is to turn
the thoughts in a morbid degree upon
ones own condition. to magnify trifiing
ailments into grave maladies. and
eventually. by sheer force of the minds
influence upon the body. to convert the
vigorous. energetic girl into an inter-
esting invalid. Womanhood

A TWILIGHT SONG.
It Brought Together Wagner and
His Dear Friend.

Tho sultry June day was wearing
on. The heat was unusual for an En-
glish summer, and it seemed to rest
upon every thing like a palpable
weight. Even the clamorous London
sparrows were silenced by it. The
noise of wheels grinding on the stone
pavements, when some provision-cart
stopped at neighboring back-door,
seemed an impertinence to the hot
stiffness. To live at all, Hans Breydel
thought, demanded more energy than
fate had left him. He lay on a low couch
in his ''three-story-back" room. and
painted restlessly with the heat Six
years in England had not cured him
of his German explosives.
''Ach Himmel!' he groaned. Il
grill! stiiler'
Instantly his daughter came to his
side. Minna Breydel was just six
teen. To her, England seemed home,
for she came there a child of ten, Just
after the death of her mother, and she
had grown into her sweet girlhood in
Abe smoky air of the heart of London.
She was girl who made you think
of a white lily-so slender was she
and so fair-with her blue eyes. and
her wealth of yellow hair. and the pale
face. to which any sudden emotion
called fitting pink color as delicate as
the tint of the apple-blossom. She had
no friends, except her father. Her life
had been passed in London lodgings
of the humber sort. and her father
had been parent, teacher and compan-
ION. all in one. Hans B''eydel was a
disappointed man. He had fancied
himself a musical genius long ago. and
in his youth he had been friend of
Richard Wagner, and had hoped and
dreamed and sspired with him. But
either fate had been against Hans Brcy-
del. or he had been mistaken in his ear
~ belief in himself.
Even in his own Germany he had
achieved no shining success, though he
was happy there, with the wife of his
youth and his love. But when she
died, the quiet scenes among which
they had lived together became insup-
portable to him. The old longing of
his boyhood for wider and more stir
ring life possessed him again, and he
took his violin and his little daughter
and went to England. But again in
London he failed to find any brilliant
opening, and he had never risen high
er than to be second violin in an or
chestra- For the last three months his
violin had been idle. and some mysteri-
Gus illness had seemed to be sapping
the springs of hh life. Perhaps the
illness had its root in his own discour-
aged heart. and meant hope deferred
and turned into despair. At any rate.
for three long months he had been the
prey of this mysterious malady which
Slapped his strength. and beat down his
courage. and turned him pale with I'M
spoken fear. His savings of the past
had so far supported him and his
daughter. but now he had come to the
end of this moderate hoard. Hans
Breydel himself did not know that the
slender purse had dwindled to its last
haN-erown, but Ainna knew It only

land she obcyed. She sought me

sang under nv window. knowing not
that it was mine, the old song of youth
and hope and love--the song j gaze
thee when we had wandered and
dreamed and been happy together in
the Black Forest. in the long-ago time.
And remembered the old DAYS. and
went down the stair, and found her on
the pavement, with her face like the
moonlight. and her voice that think
must be like the songs of Heaven: and
l asked how the song l had given thee
could be on her lips, and she told ne
it all, and here am l, richer in that |
have found again my old friend than in
all else ! have gained in London. Is
the heart in thee unchanged for me,
also. Hans Brcydcl?''
And through the darkness the weak
hand of Hans Breydel reached. and the
strong hand of Richard Wagner ciasped
and held it, and the two friends were
one again. as in the days of love and
hope ard youth of which the song had
sung. And the rest follows, rs a mat
tor of course. The highest. dearest
right of love is to help the beloved;
and Richard Wagner claimed that
right. On the shore of the North Sea.
across which German eyes can look
from England towards the Fatherland.
Hans Breydcl spent the August and
September days. And was it the breath
of the sea, or the breath of hope that
breathcd into him new life? At any
rate he grew we'll again. And when
the world went back to town. and en-
tertainments for the winter began. it
was not hard tor him whom Richard
Wagner recommended, and who was
Richard Wagner's friend, to get such u
position as he had never held before.
Thus came prosperity to the violin
iSt and his daughter-prosperity, and
the fulfilment of long-delayed hope
and to-day. if you go to one of the
pretticst homes in London, where
Minna rcigns as wife and mother, and
Hans Breydel figures as proud grand
father, you will see-in the place of
honor over the mantel-piece richly
framed, the song that Richard Wagner
wrote, that Minna Breydel sang, and
before it. always, glass OF fresh pam
sizes. the flowers of remembrance: since
now the great musician has gone on
where the singers are immortal. and
the temples are not made with hands.
